    In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe is joined by Tracy aka Modern Day Midwife (a hospital-based midwife in Arizona with a NICU background) for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of modern healthcare. Together, they unpack how the U.S. healthcare system is failing both patients and providers, from provider burnout and lack of mental health support to the pressures of hospital politics, insurance reimbursement, and productivity quotas. They explore the difference between  “Medicine 1.0” (acute care) and “Medicine 2.0” (preventative care, functional medicine, wellness), and how insurance-driven, fee-for-service models often prioritize sick care over true health. The result? Confusing medical bills, rushed care, poor patient experiences, and providers who are stretched thin despite doing deeply meaningful work. HeHe and Tracy dive into the unique challenges facing women's health, maternity care, and birth: over-medicalization, the cascade of interventions, the limits of 10-minute OB-GYN appointments, maternity care deserts, and the need for individualized care, informed consent, and continuity of care. From ACOG guidelines to ever changing evidence and research, they explore possible solutions including a midwifery-led model of care, better transfer systems for home birth and birth center patients, coverage for doulas and health coaching, and shifting consumer demand away from traditional insurance and towards alternatives like health shares.  Tracy shares her exciting vision for an integrated wellness hub that could include midwifery, obstetrics, pelvic floor PT, lactation, chiropractic care, and community-based health supports, and ends by sharing how to connect with her at Premier OB GYN in Phoenix and via Modern Day Midwife online and on Instagram.   00:00 Why Healthcare Breaks Providers 02:24 Burnout and Speaking Up 04:59 Fear and Privilege in Advocacy 07:18 Who Supports Clinicians 12:32 Medicine 1.0 vs Prevention 17:25 Billing Confusion and Fee for Service 19:06 Burn It Down or Reform It 23:55 Disrupting Insurance and Incentives 26:49 Birth Care Needs a New Model 29:36 Preeclampsia Prevention Debate 30:47 Rethinking Maternity Care Roles 32:04 Money in Wellness Care 34:55 Building a One Stop Birth Hub 37:43 Continuity Across Birth Settings 41:45 Evidence Based Medicine Reality Check 47:56 ACOG Guidelines vs Individual Choice 53:23 Demanding Individualized Care 55:11 Rebuilding Healthcare and Provider Support 56:59 Where to Find Tracy 58:15 Closing Thanks and Resources   Guest Bio: Meet Tracy Burns, Board Certified Nurse Midwife.

    Greedy Bitch
    Your Policies Are A Love Language

    Greedy Bitch

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 24, 2026 13:20


    Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer. And today's episode is a direct follow-up to our last conversation about falling in love with your clients — and stopping yourself from building a business around fling clients. Because once you start asking: “Who am I actually in relationship with in my business?” The next question becomes: “How am I communicating with them?” And that's where policies come in. Because whether you realize it or not — your policies are a love language. They tell clients: What you value What you tolerate What they can expect And how safe your business actually is And if your policies are unclear, inconsistent, or constantly bent… You're sending mixed signals. And mixed signals? They don't attract soulmate clients. They attract confusion, entitlement, and burnout. Especially as we head straight into shavedown season. Let's start with why policies feel so hard for groomers. Most groomers don't hate policies because they're unnecessary. They hate them because policies feel: Mean Awkward Confrontational Or like you're “being difficult” We were taught to be accommodating. To be kind. To be understanding. And somewhere along the way, “professional” got confused with “people-pleasing.” So instead of policies feeling like support, they start to feel like punishment. But here's the truth: Avoiding policies doesn't make you kind. It makes your business confusing. And confused clients don't feel safe. They feel entitled. Because when expectations aren't clear, people fill in the gaps with whatever works best for them. That's not a client problem. That's a communication problem. And it always shows up when you're already tired. Let's talk about mixed signals — because this is where most businesses quietly train the wrong behavior. Mixed signals look like: Policies that exist… but aren't enforced “Case-by-case” exceptions that happen constantly Apologizing when you enforce your own boundaries Saying “this is our policy” and then immediately bending it That's the equivalent of saying: “I have standards… but not really.” And clients respond accordingly. Here's the thing I want you to hear very clearly: You don't attract fling clients — you train them. If clients learn that: Pickup times are flexible Fees are negotiable Boundaries depend on your mood Policies only apply sometimes They will test every edge. Not because they're bad people — but because inconsistency teaches people to push. If your policies are flexible, your clients will be too. And this gets especially dangerous during shavedown season. Because when stress is high, you're enforcing boundaries reactively instead of proactively. That's when resentment builds. That's when burnout accelerates. Here's the reframe that changes everything: Soulmate clients don't want flexibility — they want clarity. They want to know: How your business works What to expect What the rules are And that those rules won't change randomly Structure feels safe to aligned clients. Professionalism feels calming. Predictability builds trust. High-quality clients expect: Clear policies Clear communication Clear systems They don't want to negotiate. They don't want exceptions. They don't want chaos. They want to drop their dog off and trust that everything is handled. Boundaries don't push soulmate clients away. They invite them in. And every time you enforce a policy without apology, you're sending a very clear message: “This business is stable.” “This business is predictable.” “This business respects itself.” And people who respect that? Stick around. This is the part that doesn't get talked about enough. Policies aren't just for clients. They're for you. Every time you: Over-explain Soften your language Add disclaimers Say “I'm so sorry, but…” You're teaching yourself that your needs come second. And over time, that turns into resentment. Not because clients are awful — but because you're constantly negotiating with yourself. Policies protect: Your time Your energy Your emotional bandwidth Your sustainability They remove decision fatigue. They remove constant justification. They remove the need to explain yourself every single day. Policies are not about control. They're about self-respect. And a business built on self-respect feels very different to work in. One of the biggest red flags I see in grooming businesses is over-editing. Softening language. Adding disclaimers. Trying to make everything sound nicer. Secure relationships don't require constant reassurance. Clear expectations reduce conflict. They don't create it. You don't need to convince the right clients. You just need to communicate clearly. And the clients who bristle at that? They were never your soulmate clients anyway. Clarity is not cruelty. Boundaries are not rejection. They are information. If this episode made you realize how much energy you're spending managing clients instead of grooming — that awareness matters. Because shavedown season doesn't create chaos. It reveals weak systems. And the best time to fix that? Is before you're overwhelmed. That's why I created the Business Workshop Library. Inside the library, you'll find practical, system-focused workshops like: Onboarding Clients & Dealing With Difficult Clients Take Control & Organize Your Business Run Your Business on Autopilot These workshops are designed to help you: Clarify expectations Strengthen communication Reduce emotional labor And stop relying on memory and goodwill to run your business ✨ The Business Workshop Library is $200 for the year ✨ Or $50 a month And if you're looking for ongoing support while you actually implement these policies, that's exactly what the Savvy Groomer Circle is for. Inside the Circle, you get continued education, monthly Q&As, real-time conversations, and support as you build, enforce, and refine your policies — especially during high-stress seasons like shavedown season. And for groomers who want deeper access and more personalized support, the Inner Circle gives you that next level — including direct access to me so you're not navigating these decisions alone. You can learn more or join the Savvy Groomer Circle or Inner Circle — at savvygroomer.com/membership If you want to head into shavedown season with clarity instead of chaos, You can find the Business Workshop Library at savvygroomer.com/gwg As always — stay savvy, stay greedy, and never apologize for wanting more.

    What's in the numbers? Well-known economist Shamubeel Eaqub has crunched a few figures. It turns out if you want to see it, being a student at university is a miserable experience. And boy does the media love a story of misery. Being a student is pricier than ever, they tell us. "Does it pay off?" was your headline. The answer, and this isn't from the story, it's from me, is yes. Yes, if you have a plan. Yes, if you are careful. Yes, if you are driven in a specific direction professionally. Our most recent graduate at our house is fully immersed in her first job and loving it. She owes a shed load of dough, but wouldn't for a minute have it any other way. But back to the numbers. All we really learn, when you compare the cost of stuff from Shamubeel 20 years ago versus the cost of stuff now, is the cost of stuff has gone up. That's got little to do with university and a lot to do with life because all our bills have gone up. Student support has gone up 86% but essentials have gone up 220%. In 2005 the allowance was $160 while essentials were $140 and you had $20 left over. These days you're in the red to the tune of eight bucks, which I wouldn't actually have thought was that bad. University fees have gone up 113%. You might want to ask why. But here is a reality check: the story tells us 35,000 students received some form of assistance. That number on the last quarter is up 5%. But the amount they get is down 3%. So more get money, but not as much. Surely that's good? But here is the real number: how many students are there? ChatGPT tells me almost 400,000, so less than 10% get any assistance at all. 90% don't need help. Isn't that the real story? Too many stories and too many headlines are about what's wrong, not what's right, who is doing badly, not who is doing fine. You can play with numbers forever. Palmerston North rents have gone up more than Auckland rents, so it's not as cheap to be at Massey as it once was, and so it goes. But the big picture, the real story, surely is what you got out of university. What did the qualification do for you? If it changed your life, set you on a path, set you up, got you a career and opened the doors then the bill is immaterial. Like life, university is how you see it. Like life, the choices are yours. So does it pay off? Guess what, if you want it to, you are already there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    "Ideas are more powerful than all the armies of the world. Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." Victor Hugo's observation resonates with Lawrence Reed, FEE's President Emeritus and author of the forthcoming Born of Ideas, who traces his liberty awakening to 1968 when Soviet tanks crushed Prague Spring. Then, he was a 14-year-old watching people who simply wanted to speak their minds get destroyed for demanding basic rights. Now, nearly 60 years into his "otherwise unemployable" career advancing liberty, Larry argues that July 4, 1776 was "this incredible combination...like a thunderclap" where "men and women of solid character" met "revolutionary ideas" about human rights. Larry teaches students that ideas—not institutions, media, or parents—determine "whether people live in a free society or an unfree society," but close behind ideas is character: "people who don't have high character...they're not likely to be free. They're not fit to be free." Free speech, he argues, is "the verbal manifestation of the freedom to think"—without it "you might as well be a robot," or in North Korea where "just thinking something and saying it can get you thrown in prison or worse." Addressing critics who dismiss the founders for not abolishing slavery immediately, Larry warns against "presentism"—judging the past by present standards, comparing it to putting the Wright Brothers in a courtroom asking "what good are you?" because their plane lacked tray tables and Wi-Fi. In closing, he offers inspiration from Valley Forge: those soldiers weren't freezing and starving for iPhones or gourmet meals but "for a principle of individual liberty. That's exciting stuff. Life without liberty is just absolutely unthinkable."Delve deeper into Larry's work at: https://www.lawrencewreed.com/

They dig into the scary argument hiding underneath it: if "regulate" secretly means "tax," then any president can invent arbitrary taxes across the entire federal regulatory state. Not great when the next "emergency" is climate, guns, or whatever cable news is screaming about. Then the show pivots to the MAGA vs MAHA fracture over glyphosate and Roundup.

But after helping hundreds of canine rehabpreneurs build their businesses, one thing has become clear: those things don't create differentiation.

    Everybody wants the $10,000 keynote. Very few speakers understand how speaker fees actually work. In this episode, Sean breaks down the real numbers behind speaking engagements, how event planners think about budgets, and what you must do to command higher fees without pricing yourself out. If you've ever wondered: • How do I get from $1,500 to $5,000? • When can I charge $10,000+? • What do associations really pay? • How do I talk about my fee without losing the deal? This episode answers all of it. CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro & Why Everyone Wants the $10K Gig 01:05 – What Speakers Actually Get Paid (Real Ranges) 02:10 – When to Say Yes to $2,500 (And When Not To) 04:00 – Visibility Begets Visibility 05:00 – Why Optics Matter More Than Your Fee 06:10 – How Associations Structure Speaker Budgets 07:15 – Local vs. State vs. National Conferences 09:10 – What You MUST Have to Command Higher Fees 10:45 – Why You're Not Tony Robbins (Yet) 12:00 – Staying in Your Lane & Owning Your Expertise 14:30 – One Talk.

    Podcast Summary (Show Notes Style)In this episode, Jordon Comstock talks with Dan from Elevation Association about why dental insurance—especially Delta Dental—is becoming a bigger threat to independent practices, and how practices can successfully transition to fee-for-service without destroying their schedule.Dan explains that Delta is making aggressive moves, including owning dental practices, which gives insurers more control locally and reduces their reliance on independent offices. He also warns dentists not to assume associations will protect them, arguing the industry landscape is shifting fast.The conversation then turns practical: Dan breaks down what it really takes to exit PPOs strategically. The key is preparation—especially having a patient membership / benefit plan in place before going out of network, so patients can move “laterally” into the practice's own plan. He emphasizes aligning the entire team around the mission, using incentives when appropriate, and building strong patient communication to counter misleading insurer letters that make patients think they “can't” stay with the practice.Dan shares that the transition isn't instant—it can take about a year to stabilize, with the first quarter or two feeling messy as hygiene schedules fluctuate and patients test the financial impact. The practices that win dedicate staff to proactive recall/outreach, driven by real data (they use Dental Intel), to refill the schedule and reduce attrition.The episode closes with the payoff: the move is described as freeing and energizing, with fewer write-offs, more control, and the ability to slow down while improving focus and profitability—especially when practices don't try to do it alone and instead leverage coaching, tools, and a clear plan.TL;DR (30 seconds)Delta is tightening control (even buying practices), so dentists need a strategy to regain power: prep your team + track key KPIs + build a membership plan first + over-communicate + run recall/outreach, and expect a ~12-month stabilization period after the PPO exit. The result: less write-off pain and way more freedom.

    (The Center Square) – A retail business advocate says a federal judge's ruling to uphold the Interchange Fee Prohibition Act paves the way for Main Street Illinois to experience major relief, but a banking advocate says the law could slow commerce and foul up transactions. U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Kendall ruled on Tuesday that the law to ban processing fees on the tax and tip portion of credit and debit card transactions could be implemented as scheduled July 1. Illinois Retail Merchants Association President and CEO Rob Karr said removing the pressure of swipe fees on prices will be a big deal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
